THE Louisville Couicr-JoWn1l, In a char
acteristic article entitled "The Presidents
Strength" uses the following language as
to President Cleveland when he came into
office:
His idea seemed to be that the Congress was
second, and perhaps a smaller, edition of the
New York legislature, made up OF meu who,
where not scoundrels outright, were designing
shaTpers and selfish knaves. He would work
independently OF these and re.orcate new po-
ltical world made after his own image. He
owed nothing to the party, y,whom he mistakenly
thought he had brought Into power, instead Of
realizing that 1t had elected him. and had a
distinct claim TO certain recognitions aud def
mite policies lie ignored ali the great men OF
that party and constructed cabinet such as
suited the caprice OF an understanding which
was nothing If not obstinate and whimsical.
This language is not complimentary either
to the President or his Cabinet, and II used
by Republican newspaper would be de-
nounceG as false and slanderous.

FORECASTS OF COLD WAVES.
How the Warnings Can be Received
Five Hours Earlier.

Ao" tho Shh no
Five Hours Earlier.
Tie importance Of early and successful
forecasts of cold wave is the greatest per-
haps in the northwest. In order to meet
the needs of that section Of the country aud
to comply with the earnest application from
citizens and corporate bodies of great vested
values, the chief signal officer has decided
to station an indications officer at st. Pau, /,
Minn. This arrangement will enable that
officer to receive his reports an hour earlier
than In Washington, aud will further en-.
able him to send out warnings of cold
waves in that section from two to five hours
earlier than is now done. A warning earlier
by two or three hours, while not OF special
importance east OF the Mississippi river, is,
however, to the country OF the northwest,
where the earliest signs OF a cold wave are
rarely more than twelve to sixteen hours iu
advance OF Its full predominance. The
stationiDg Of an officer In the northwest
who can make predictions for four or FIVE
states for the winter and spring months
will also relieve to q considerable extent
the overtaxed Indications officer OF the cen.
tral Office. During the summer months the
officer at st. Paul will be available for in-
spection purposes at somewhat less expense
than now.
This arrangement went into effect with
the morning report Of yesterday, but for a
few days longer the midnight indication
will continue to be issued from this office.

Regard to the Vessels.
The correspondence between the Depart
ment Of Justice and its officers In Alaska in
regard to the release Of the British vessels
seized during the summer OF 1886 for al
legged violation of the seal fishery laws was
made public yesterday. Under date OF Jan.
GO, 1887, Attorney General Garland, by in
structions from the President, directed
Judge Lafayette Dawson and NJ. ID Ball,
United States attorney at Sitka, Alaska, to
discharge the vessels and release the per-
sons under arrest. This was followed By a
dispatch from United States Marshal At
kiDs at Sitka acknowledging the re-
ceipt OF the telegram and stating
that then 1t was considered fraudulent.
Under date Of Oct 12 last the Attorney
General sent a telegram to the marshal
granting him leave Of absence to go 10 San
Francisco, ana concluding with instructions
to release the vessels, as previously ordered.
Three days later, that there might be no
misunderstanding the meaning of the tele-

shal directing that the orders OF the tele-
gram be carried out

The st. Louis Republican published an
interview with Mr. Chauncey NJ. Depew,
which was telegraphed to the New York

in the stock market-so great, In fact, that
a telegram met Mr.. Depew in Cleveland,
Ohio, giving the substance OF what was
printed in the Herald, and Mr.. Depew tele.
graphed denial, and that the reporter
must have misunderstood him, The ST.
Louis Republican Of yesterday declares
National Republican., 1887-10-21

that the interview was printed as II was
given to the financial editor Of that paper,
and that the memory Of Mr.. Depew is at
fault. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, was
greatly astonished at the words spoken by
Mr.. Depew, not because Of the ideas ex-
pressed, for they were correct, but that Mr..
Depew should express them. He was right
II he said what the ST. Louis Republican
credits him with saying, and short time

The fact that the government should be
buying its own bonds at such prices is an un.
fortunate result, for which Congress is respon.
sible.
This administration is responsible and it
cannot shift the responsibility upon Con-

Secretary to pay the bonds at par. He

The Board met yesterday to investi-
gate the charges brought by Officer
Arguello against Officer T. f. Botello.
The trouble sprung out of the inter-
ference of Botello with two Chinese
prisoners whom Arguello had arrested
in Niger alley during last Sun
days fire, after both had attempted
his life. In the struggle one of the
Cinnamon had shot Arguello in the
head, and it was by the greatest good
luck that the bullet only ,grazed the
skin of his forehead and did not pene-
trate the skull. Arguello charged that
at the time of the other officers inter
ference Botello had used very bad
language toward him and specifically
accused him of conduct unbecomlng
an officer. After hearing all the evi,
dence the Commissioners reprimanded
Officer Botello for his conduct IN the
matter.

CRIMINALITIES.
A Burglar Captured-Severa Mil
nor Occurrences.

A man yesterday called at "Aus
tralian Levy's" secondhand store on
Upper Main street to hire his wagon
for the day, which he said he wanted
to collect junk with. He got it at the
rate of 81 day and went off. Later
in the day the man appeared at NJ.
Cohn's secondhand store on the same
lot with the wagon filled with two
splendid imitation sealskin laprobes,
lot of linoleum and other goods
which he wanted to sell. He offered
the robes at the rate of cents per
pound. Cohn refused to BUY the
things, as he was afraid that they had
been stolen. While they were
wrangling Officer Collins came
up and the man skipped out
by the back door. Cohn informed the
policeman of the facts and he went
out into the yard to find the fellow,
but he had gone. In the yard, how
ever, the officer found +. Clark, the
young man who lately married the
daughter of Nelson, the Indian doctor,
and he admitted having reen the rug
peddler. The two together took
the goods to the police office, where it
was found that the rugs belonged to
L. M. Bradbury, of 100 Court House
street, from whom they had been
stolen some three or four weeks ago.
Clark, under the supposition that he
knew more than he was desirous of
telling, was detained for some time,
but afterward released. Officer Col
Inns then went to the depots
to see if he could find
the thief, but his search was fruitless.
At 7 O'Clock last night M. Cohn, the
secondhand dealer, walked into the
police office and handed over the man
who had attempted to sell the lap.
robes to him in the morning to Col
Inns. The fellow, who gave the name
OF Richard Springer, is a German
about A years OF age, medium sized,
with black hair and beard. He was
charged with grand larceny and locked
up. Upon his person was found $l20
in coin
